Medical Mondays: I'm Telekinetic! Almost.

I find the idea of telekinesis fun but faulty. How is it scientifically possible? I'm willing to make allowances for fiction, but in real life, I'm not a believer.

Then I saw this game called MindFlex. Looks like Mattel got a leg up on the paranormal universe, heh heh.

So you wear this headband with electrodes attached to your ears and around your head. Supposedly, it reads electrical brain activity and translates that to powering up a tiny fan in the console. Thus, the ball levitates.

We got if for the kids for Christmas. Okay, um. We got it for us too, since we've played it more than they have! I couldn't get it to work for the longest time (not enough caffeine, maybe?). Finally, I started babbling random things to see what would happen.

Check out what gets my mind totally focused and unfocused!

Mental power is full of electricity and magic, I tell you. Use it to good effect for a very productive 2012!

All I ask is that you become a follower and post a link on your blog when I post your answer. This is for fictional scenarios, only. Please check out the boring but necessary disclaimer on my sidebar --->

I drive a transit bus, so naturally I see near accidents all the time. I've never been involved in one. But I swear I've seen so many accidents that should have happened... I'm thinking I somehow keep them from happening (as well as those who just about barrel into me!)

Sounds like a fun game, and why couldn't we be able to move things with our brain? How does an Ouija board work?

Heh, cleaning the house is a serious downer! Love this. Now I know that all that stuff on tv medical shows about people who've lost the ability to speak being able to communicate through their minds moving arrows or balls on computer monitors is real. wow.

I got this for my daughter's Harry Potter birthday party and we had a lot of fun playing with it for awhile. I think now we have put it away again so I might take it back out. There is some research that indicates that activities like this also help train focus and can have a positive impact on people with ADHD. If anyone ever gets to Pigeon Forge, Tn there is a place called Wonder Works that has a larger version where you move a ball by seeing who can relax their mind the most. It is fascinating stuff.

Happy New Year and happy new game!It's interesting to me that you had to say what you thought out loud for it to work. I've always believed that prayers should be said out loud to give then more power, hence "say" your prayers, not "think" your prayers.

That's so cool! So it actually works? I've heard of MindFlex but I'm always skeptical about that kind of stuff. Haha. I love how the ball drops when you say "I have to clean the house." LOL. Also, I finally know what you sound like!

Oreo cookies and twinkies, no house cleaning. It seems easy enough. My kids have this game (or whatever it is called), but I have never tried it. I will now. I can only hope I do not get as obsessed with this as I did their wii. Happy New Year.
